Book Reviews
If Camino Winds is breezy, that’s mostly because its plot involves a ferocious hurricane. This is a Camino book with elements of a more traditional Grisham thriller thrown in…. Camino Winds turns out to have a more serious, issue-oriented [plot].… [T]the island, the bookstore and the heroine [of Camino Island]… are missed…. [Camino Winds] was intended as escapist entertainment, but its timing unavoidably gives it a different resonance.
Janet Maslin - New York Times Book Review


The plot is light, and thin, and often obvious, despite some unexpected twists, but Mr. Grisham is an irresistible writer. His prose is fluent and gorgeous, and he has an ability to end each segment with a terse sentence than makes it all but impossible not to turn the page.
Pittsburgh Post Gazette


The murder of popular thriller writer Nelson Kerr during a hurricane drives bestseller Grisham’s exciting follow-up to 2017’s Camino Island.…Grisham peoples the intriguing, elaborate plot with a winsome ensemble of distinguished authors and booklovers.
Publishers Weekly


Grisham’s tale unfolds at a leisurely pace, never breaking into a sweat, and if the bad guys seem a touch too familiar, the rest of the cast make a varied and believable lot…. A pleasure for Grisham fans and an undemanding addition to the beach bag.
